clear weather
I got a letter from Lee and
also one from Helen and Dewey
It is the first I have got from
Lee for about two months Well
I got that slip you sent out of
the paper of the boys names
that left on July 22nd I knew
quite a number of them You
wanted to know if I wanted you
to send me the county paper I
wrote you some time ago to
give my address to Mr Cun-
ningham and tell him to send
me the paper I suppose you
have got it before this time if
not you can give him my ad-
dress and he will send it to me

fifty years behind time The
country is a fairly good looking
country only it is about all
mountains and about four or
five inches under the surface
is nothing but rock It is
worse than it was out in Colo-
rado where we were and they
raise about the same crops as
they do out there but ten acres
is a big field here you see more
with one or two acres than any
other size It is sure lots dif-
ferent here than I thought if

Co-Operaftioim
This is the basis on which this store was founded A num-
ber of individuals joined together with their money to start the
original store on the co-operative plan and every member who
owns a share in the store profits to the extent that he purchases
goods here
Ever so often the books are balanced and every member’s
account is footed up and he is given credit on the basis of his pur-
chases during that period of time
The profits of the company as a whole is held to expand the
business so that the store can grow stronger
In these times of high prices and high cost of living every
person is figuring to make his money go the farthest possible The
Co-operative way is one of the ways to help the good work aiong
Call on the manager of the CO-OPERATIVE STORE and have
this plan thoroughly explained take a share in the company and
get in on the division of the profits in proportion to the amount
you buy at this store Every dollar saved in this fair method is
a good dollar saved to help win the war At the same time you
are becoming a member of a business firm that is helping to con-
serve your money
Our Grocery Department is now nicely
stocked and we invite everyone to come
in and test us on quality economy and
service

cause I will tell you it is all get-
ting there Well I must close!
